"The cost of living in Kuwait is generally considered to be high, with the cost of basic necessities such as food, housing, and transportation being significantly higher than in many other countries. The cost of rent in Kuwait is particularly high, with the average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Kuwait City being around $1,000 per month. Other costs such as utilities, transportation, and entertainment can also be expensive. However, the cost of living in Kuwait is offset by the country's high wages and generous benefits, making it an attractive destination for many expats," said another expat in Kuwait.
